Thanks Shytorque - I've been after a good explanation of this conundrum for years.

You land and then taxi to the ramp and cut the fuel to your hot fuel injected Lycoming by starving it of fuel by pulling the mixture.
Then as if by magic 5 mins later you start the engine with the mixture still cut off!

Heat soak! Simples
